cd /etc/openvpn

At the end of the file, add Routes to the Local Networks (if needed)

route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 net_gateway
route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 net_gateway

sudo vi /etc/openvpn/login.txt

In this format:

username
password

Limit access to login file

sudo chmod 700 /etc/openvpn/login.txt

Add nameservers to DNS (if needed)

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf

sudo chattr +i /etc/resolve.conf

At this point, you should be able to test with:

sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/spain_bp.ovpn --auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/login.txt

And then to test that your network providers IP is hidden:

wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO -
